What is this part called?

It is a pin switch located on the lower rear door jamb. For example: open the door, look down towards the dog leg. Nearby there is this switch mounted in the doorjamb. Is it a "door ajar" switch? I need to replace one on a customer's car and I don't know exactly what to ask for. thanks.
BTW This car is a 69 coupe.

Door ajar and alarm switch

edit -scratch the alarm I don't think that switch was used for the alarm until around 72.

OK thanks. I see that part on Ecklers website. However, it looks like they sell the terminals for it separately? Seems complicated.

I had to cut a section out of the wheelwell to get to the backside to repair with mat and resin.
